Amelia Maginnis, the wife Of Arthur Am
brose Maginnis, died last week in New Or
leans, She was married in the fall Of 1868,
when Tweed was at the zenith Of his power.
The wedding was magnificent one, its most
notable feature being the extraordinary
presents received by the bridal couple.
Their total valuation reached nearly $780,
OOo. Every politician and contractor who
was favored or hoped to be favored by
Tweed did his full share to make the event
a wonderful affair Tweed lived plainly in
Twenty-sixth street, and his daughter was
married there. He was then merely deputy
commissioner Of public works, which, sin
gularly enough, was the highest office he
ever held in the city government. He was
then in complete control of everything, how
ever. The wedding was celebrated in the
afternoon, and the city departments were al
most as mucn deserted as II it were holt
day. The house was almost packed with
wedding presents. Peter b. Sweeney gave
the bride diamond bracelet worth $1,000,

On Record For Nichols.
ROSsler Banner

In July, 1878, after General Nichols
had been governor of Louisiana about
eighteen months, the Democratic party
of the State held convention. and
among other resolutions adopted the
following:
3. That Francis T. Nichols, by his
prudent and statesmanlike manage
lnent of the many delicate issues grow
ing out Of the success OF the party III
1876. and resulting in the firm estab-
lishment of the peoples government in
Louisiana, deserves the gratitude Of all
Lolisianans that his wisdom, Justice
and moderation in the administration
of his high trust is in strict accord with
the principles announced by him in ac-
cepting the nomination, and has won
for him the respect OF all us the COVER
nor OF the whole people of Louisiana,
and entities him so the support Of all
who love good government.
Now, be it remembered, this was at
ter most if not all of the obnoxious APP
pointments made by Governor Nichols
and now complained of by some Demo
Gratis had been made. 1t the appoint
ments were so bad, so lmpolitlc, so un-
demOcratic, thcn-ln July lS7S-they
were fresh in the minds of the Demo

state convention assembled declared
that Governor Nichols management
was prudent and statesmanlikc y that
the " issues" were "delicate' and that
the result was the firm establishment
of the peoples government in LOuisia-
ma The convention further declare
that Governor Nichols observes the
gratitude of all Louislanians" and ap-
plauds "his wisdom, justice and mode
ration in the administration of his high
trust" etc.

deliberate, solemn, falsehood Are

Nichols less worthy now than then
What has this soldier-son of Louisiana
done to forfeit the gratitude of his
party, or the citizens of his native
state, since his moderation and his
craftsmanship was so empnatically iD-
dorsed in 1878? But forget not, We

ment in 1877, further asserted that to
Nichols was due, very largely at least,

The people l,aFe not yet lost all con-
ception of q representative IlemOcratlc
government. Still we see, which has be-
come to be an everyday occurrence, the
present administration, giving offices OF
pnblie trust to few favored individu-
ais upon their own recommendation or
that of parish leader We have the
vouchers to show that the present ad-
ministration has in our own parish lit
terally ignored the wishes Of the people.
Does this not show that spirit OF ia
vogitism exists? Do you propose to
to cast your vote for man who wishes
TO ascend the gnbernatorial chair who
will not listen to the people Is it not
the people whose voice says: "Iake
thu seat T" and is it not the people that
should dictate who should hold an
office Of public trust9 Has the present
administration such record No.
Goyernnr Nichols has no fences to
mend, and, when he assumes, the lead
ership OF the state of Louisiana, we
venture the assertion that none but
frat class men will receive positions OF
nnblic trust and that upon the reeom-
meudation of the people. Cast your
vote for Francis T, Nichols and You
will never regret it.-Trinity Herald.

What Is Aimed At.
Clinton Patpiot-Democrat,

In the dark days proceeding 1887 the
redemption of Louisiana was wrought
out by men who looked to something
higher than the establishment OF a
central, self-serving oligarchy, which
should go on ruling the state forever,
and whose every well-seemlng act
could be traced to selfish and interested
motives.
This movement TO overthrow the as
cendancy of what we believe can APP
propriately be called a ring, means
other than the attempt OF a portion OF
the party to achieve fractional supre-
macy :; it means return to true Demo
cratic principles, the. re- establishment
Of Democratic methods; the rule OF the
people, by the people, for the people.
And there are thousands among the
best people in the state who believe, as
we do, that it is righteous movement
that, under Gods blessing, will succeed
to the greatest advantage and benefit
of every good and worthy interest of
the State of Louisiana.
